2024 Fantasy Outlook
Simmons had a disappointing 2023 campaign after signing a four-year, $94 million extension in the offseason. He was limited to 12 games due to injury, though it's unclear if he was ever truly healthy. He had a procedure in April of 2023 to clean up an issue with his ankle, an issue which may have briefly popped up again in late October. One month later, he suffered a knee injury that ultimately derailed his season for good. After a normal offseason, the hope is that Simmons will enter both training camp and the regular season healthy, in which case he should be productive as the centerpiece of the Titans' defensive line.

Healthy for start of camp
Simmons (knee) is participating in practice at Titans camp this week, Nick Suss of The Tennesseean reports.
ANALYSIS
Simmons went on injured reserve late last season with his knee issue and didn't take part in minicamp. The Titans were likely just being cautious with their star defender. Simmons is good to go for the start of training camp after missing five games last year. Turning 27 years old Sunday, Simmons has 26.5 career sacks across five campaigns.

Mike Vrabel's commitment to the 3-4 defense is admirable, but it's keeping Simmons from being the dominant pass rusher his physical tools say he should be. Even so, the 19th overall pick in the 2019 draft has 16 sacks in 32 games the last two seasons, impressive production for a 3-4 defensive end. He's also topped 50 tackles each of those two years, giving him a solid fantasy floor when the sacks aren't coming. The return of Harold Landry gives Simmons more help off the edge, potentially freeing him up to reach double-digit sacks for the first time.
